Afterward, he ran to her side, bent down, and pulled her up from the ground. When he touched her, he could clearly feel her body trembling. He subconsciously lifted his head, and with the dim light of the room, he saw that her fair face was covered in tears. Her wet eyes were clearly filled with fear.
So, the scream he heard just now wasn't a dream, but really came from her?
"Did you have a nightmare?" Lu Bancheng asked gently.
Xu Wennuan had not completely recovered from the nightmare, and she looked at him in a daze.
Lu Bancheng reached out and gently patted her back. "It was just a dream. Don't be afraid. It's fine …"
When Xu Wennuan woke up from the nightmare, she stopped crying. She thought that he had left and that she was the only one left in the house. As usual, she pretended that nothing had happened and was about to go to the bathroom to wash her face. In her haste, she accidentally fell to the ground, and her palms and knees hurt.
She wasn't a weak person. After experiencing so much, she had long since trained to be invulnerable.
She thought that she was strong enough, but at that moment, when she heard Lu Bancheng's gentle words of comfort, she instantly realized that it had been a long, long time since someone had cared for her, cared for her, and cared for her in real life.
The taut string in her heart suddenly snapped. She didn't know why she was crying, but she just couldn't stop crying for no reason.
When she cried, Lu Bancheng panicked even more. He thought that she was still scared because of the dream, so he comforted her in a voice that became increasingly warm. "Nuannuan, don't cry. It's really fine now. I'm here …"
The more he spoke, the louder Xu Wennuan cried.
Eventually, Lu Bancheng, who was at his wit's end, could only pull her into his arms. He placed her little head on his chest and patted her back gently, allowing her to vent out all the grievances in her heart.
His meticulous and gentle coaxing made Xu Wennuan feel a sense of belonging in that instant.
How long had it been since she felt this way?
It seemed that when she witnessed Wu Hao's affair, she felt that the whole world had given up on her. Her life began to become chaotic, and she was forced to grow up. She could no longer live a simple and pure life. She had no one to rely on, no one to talk to when she was tired, no one to bear the pain alone … She felt that she had been forgotten by the world. She thought that she would be forgotten by the world forever, but Lu Bancheng had now made her truly feel that she existed in this world.
At this thought, Xu Wennuan cried even more wantonly, as if she wanted to cry out all the loneliness, sadness, and sorrow she had endured over the years.
She cried for a very, very long time. She cried until her throat was hoarse and she had no strength left in her body. Only then did she finally calm down.
Only then did Lu Bancheng pull her out of his arms. He bent over, lifted her up, and put her back on the bed.
He first checked her knees to make sure that they weren't injured. He then went to the bathroom, took a towel, and soaked it in warm water. When he came out, he wiped away the tears on her little face and covered her with the blanket. He sat by the bed and gently patted her to coax her to sleep.
After crying for so long, Xu Wennuan quickly fell asleep again with Lu Bancheng's attentive company.
This time, Lu Bancheng did not leave Xu Wennuan. Instead, he stayed by her side.
